Vitamin E Oil for Horses
Need vitamin E oil for horses? Fresh grass is the most rich in vitamin E and is also an important source of omega-3 fatty acids. Horses are naturally grass eaters and have adapted to a diet rich in omega-3. However, our winter rations, which include kibble and granola, are mostly high in grains and often contain more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3. The forage is also poor in omega-3 and the vitamin E content in the forage deteriorates rapidly. Additional supplementation in the winter ration of both vitamin E and omega-3 is recommended in then. When extra oil is added to the ration, the need for Vitamin E increases, which is why HorseAdds Natural E oil is high in dose. With 30 mL you feed 2400 IU of natural vitamin E.
Omega3-6 fatty acid ratio
Both omega-3 and omega 6 both perform essential functions in the body, but the balance between the two is very important. This is because they play an important role in inflammatory responses. However, both are needed, but the ratio should be about 1.5:1 to 3:1. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for health and help support skin and coat condition.
